Chronic evolving polyarthritis

It happens only to adult women. It is also called chronic polyarticular rheumatism or rheumatoid polyarthritis.

This occurs frequently to adults. It is associated to undervaluation. This is for adults what acute articular rheumatism is for children. This affects adults who centre their lives around the question: “Am I skilful or not? Am I competent or not?”

The joints have grown old but these adults behave like children.

It only affects women.
